lyrics

Burning miles, burning miles, burning miles down
Where the wheels meet the ruts, wear the stone down
Count the poles, the high wires fire information
The air is alive

Burning miles, burning miles

We heard the bells, they was ringing in the town square
They was comin’ from a rusty old loud speaker
The people there, well they really didn’t seem to care
The babies just cried

Burning miles, burning miles

Recall the days when the clouds brought that hail ‘round
In all its rage, beat the salt into the ground
We just stared at the broken vegetation and said our goodbyes

Burning miles, burning miles

Beneath the overpass, we met a young man
With a story inside a spray paint can
In modern symbols revealed a revelation
Then he asked us for a ride

Burning miles, burning miles

We bed down in the woods on the outskirts
Near a paddock where a giant horse once stood
Set out to pasture ‘cause he couldn’t run so good
He was unfit to ride

Burning miles, burning miles

Tires so thin, could barely hold the air in
Lugs so stripped down, couldn’t hold a wrench on
Fog so thick, I’m guessing my direction…

Burning miles, burning miles
